    I think British Asians today are losing their identity. They’'re losing the meaning of being an Asian basically losing their roots. It’'s easy for that to happen because you live in a British country and there’s pressure on you to fit in so you try to lose your roots. I think the term ‘British Asian’ is dying out and soon it’s going to just be ‘British’.
